A closer look at this week's top golf tours

Defending champion: Stewart Cink got into a playoff after Tom Watson's closing bogey, then ended the Hall of Famer's improbable run by playing the four-hole loop in 2-under.

Tour talk: Tiger Woods has the chance to become the only player ever to win three Opens held at St. Andrews. He won the 2000 and '05 versions by a combined 13 shots. If he doesn't win, it'll be his longest winless start to a season. … No player has made St. Andrews his first major crown since Tony Lema back in 1964.

Defending champion: John Rollins held off late challenges from Martin Laird and Jeff Quinney for a three-stroke win.

Tour talk: With its spot opposite either a major or WGC event, Reno has been a great place for first-time winners. Five of the previous 11 champions made Reno their first PGA Tour trophy, including Notah Begay and Vaughn Taylor.

Tour talk: Keegan Bradley, runner-up last week in Ontario, is the nephew of LPGA Hall of Famer Pat Bradley. The Vermont native's first top-10 Nationwide finish moved him from 95th on the money list to 17th.

Tour talk: Eight pros who have appeared in Champions Tour events this year are set to tee it up at St. Andrews. Five are former champions – Tom Watson, Sandy Lyle, Mark Calcavecchia, Tom Lehman and Mark O'Meara. The others are Loren Roberts, Peter Senior and Tom Pernice.
